Tarot cards traditionally used for divination...used on the cover of The Economist to show what will happen in 2017. A tower struck by lightning - apparently represents the 500th anniversary of the Martin Luther 95 theses. Trump as ruler of the world? Or will he suffer judgement - in court perhaps? The World - global control of publications, cinema, arts. Perhaps news media as well? The Hermit - represents the secretive elite, leading protestors down into a canyon ? Death - a nuclear bomb - (note: there was also a nuclear bomb on the cover of the 2014 issue.) Magician - wearing a VR headset and using a 3D printer - technology = magic Wheel of Fortune - very obvious - German, French and The Netherlands elections The Star - 14 millennial 'stars' interviewed in the magazine, not sure about the shooting star... vigilantcitizen.com/vigilantreport/economists-world-2017-makes-grim-predictions-using-symbolic-tarot-cards/ |

I think 2017 is going to be a roller coaster. I'm expecting the Trump administration to make a lot of big changes, I'm expecting the world to respond to it with a mixed bag, and I'm expecting to hear a lot of SJW whining.
Over-all, I think there's a better than not chance that US/Russian relations will improve to some degree.
As for China, probably not. But I'm kind of ok with that.

While I am not declaring that Trump is going to destroy the America that I love, I am holding my breath in anticipation of a rough ride. What is to come is going to be shocking Im sure.

I feel as the entire world is holding his breath knowing we're in a big change without knowing if it will be a good or a terrible one. It's where we need that love is public.

We will see the new POTUS reverse policies of the left, then When the next Democrat becomes POTUS we will see him/her reverse policies of the right...and so on and so on...it's a never ending cycle

Something true in that. And sadly, no progress can be realized for the population.

Trump signed an executive order to stop government funding for women's health services is foreign countries.
People are flipping out as if he stopped it in this country.
Here is my two sense on the matter.
First off it's tax payer dollars funding this services in other countries. So the pro-life tax payer doesnt have a say where his tax money goes, but the pro-choice people have no issue supporting the services.
I am pro-choice and I look at this as charitable contributions. If women's health care services are that important to these folks flipping out, they would have no problem donating their saved taxes from taxes being cut to fund these services. Why have mommy/daddy government do this for you, when you can do it yourself? I wonder how many would actually give to such services, even though they bitch about it.

its a moral issue. a lot of people see a fetus as a life. they believe that abortion causes it a painful horrible death, and they dont want their money contributing towards murder. i dont blame them, its wrong.

That's why I don't choose sides...I lean both left and right I find it hard to subscribe to either ideology...and I find both parties have agendas...you could say I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative  |

One of my last decisions about this website is to not be involved in the United States of America's politics.
It's a minefield.

Ok, so what is the problem with those that are prochoice sending the services their own money and the prolifers not doing it? People have the right to their own belief and where to send their money. There is not a problem in my opinion having it done that way. Prolifer tax money wont be spent on those services now. |

Yes, would be nice if both parties worked together on issues for ALL...unfortunately that will probably never happen...I have voted all parties (dem, rep, and indipendant) in past, dependent upon which candidate I felt would be the best choice...nothing ever changes...I don't vote anymore...not sure it matters, considering shadow govt... |
